Pretty, Vacant 3




Central Leicester, May 2020


This vacant little beauty should have made it into my previous post, really - being both food-related and framed in red.  Still, better late than never - and it's definitely too attractive to ignore.  I wasn't even sure if these premises really were vacated.  Numerous take-away food outlets have continued to function throughout the Coronavirus lock-down, and that glowing fluorescent tube suggests some form of occupation.  However, closer inspection  of that barely-legible hand-written notice confirms this is yet another site for rent.

Once again - I don't know if all this is actually virus-related, of course.  However, perhaps subjective visual resonance and implied symbolism are more important than the actual facts, in matters of the art.
